Being organised under the Chhavi series of classical cinema, the children’s film festival began here from Sunday. Notably, the film fest is being organised especially for children to enjoy their vacation evenings and for this much selected movies would be screened each day. All the movies will be screened at Antarang Hall, Bharat Bhavan.
First, the animated movie Kuth Puthli directed by Charmi Cheddha was screened. It is an animated movie on puppets and seemed really fascinating to the kids. The 14 minute movie was much enjoyed by the little audience.
later, Bollywood movie Yeh Hai Akkad Bakkad Bambe Bo was screened. Yeh Hai Chakkad Bakkad Bumbe Bo also known as The Sensational Six is a 2003 Indian children’s film directed by Sridhar Rangayan, and written by Vijay Tendulkar and Sushma Bakshi.
The film is based on a short story by Shakuntala Paranjpye and was shot on location over 20 days in Mandangad, Bankot and Mumbai.
The peace of their small Konkan village is shattered when four adventurous children come upon the dangerous smuggler Don Douglas. Two of the boys are caught spying and taken away by his goons. With the help of their dog Sikander and their monkey Birbal, the rest of the team must rescue them.
The opening day of the fest received a satisfactory response by the little audience of the city. The film fest would continue till June 7.
